Montrachet, The exceptional harvest of 7 Domaines offers a magnificent bottle of extraordinary rarity. This Montrachet 2016 is a contemporary tale of solidarity and friendship between 7 Burgundian owners, who were the victims of the frost of April 27, 2016. Eventually, the decision was made amongst these 7 producers to pool the tiny quantity of grapes that had survived and combine them into one blend. The resulting 2 barrels (one new, the other a year old) were then aged for 18 months at Domaine Leflaive. The total yield was 600 bottles, a part of which has been kept back by the individual Domaines. The name of each customer is inscribed on the front label. The seven owners eventually decided to create a short-lived trading company (closed at the end of 2019) called L'Exceptionnelle Vendange des Sept Domaines whose sole purpose was to market the 500 bottles of this «Montrachet des 7» dressed in an original label; the other 100 bottles will go into the estates' wine libraries and/or be destined for charity sales. This is one of them!
